For nearly three decades, the sports world has watched an amazing record being forged with near perfection out of meager raw material by a colorful figure in the Bluegrass country of Kentucky known familiarly to hundreds of thousands as the "Man in the Brown Suit."
He is Adolph Rupp of Kentucky and when the sport of basketball is mentioned today, a direct chain of thought brings out the name of this maker of champions who holds undisputed rank as the "Nation's Winningest Basketball Coach." The name of Rupp, feared and respected in opponents' hearts and beloved by the millions who have witnessed the remarkable success of his Wildcat cage teams, has become synonymous with the game of basketball.
Such unprecedented recognition for the fabulous mentor is only natural since his success in the past 29 years as head man of the fabled Kentucky cage thoroughbreds has been nothing short of phenomenial. It would take a book longer than his own technical bestseller, "Championship Basketball," to recite the record completely.  Briefly, however, that record includes:
An amazing 608 victories out of 714 starts for an unparalleled winning percentage of better than 85 per cent against major competition.
Selection as the national "Coach of the eYar" in 1959 for the second time in his career as he guided an inexperienced group of sophomores to a 24-3 record. The honor was bestowed by United Press International and the Knute Rockne Clubs of America.
An unprecedented honor roll of four NCAA Tournament championships picked up by his Wildcats who hold the all-time record of 11 appearances in the national classic and can claim more victories in NCAA play (21) than any other team.
A nominal worlds championship as co-coach of the successful USA entry in the 1948 Olympic Games which included members of Kentucky's NCAA champions.
A total of 19 Southeeastern Conference titles since the league was organized in 1933.
Election to the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in 1959 and previous selection (in 1946) by Helms Athletic Foundation as a member of their exclusive cage Hall of Fame.
Election to the Kentucky Hall of Fame (1945), outstanding citizen of Lexington (1949) and twice honorary citizen ot the City of New Orleans.
Development of more All-Americans (21) and more material for the pro ranks (17) than any other coach. Four Sugar Bowl Tournament championships, a National Invitation Tournament title and four trophies from the first six UK Invitational Tournaments.

 HARRY LITWACK
TEMPLE STALWART
BILL KENNEDY
HARRY LITWACK Head Basketball Coach Temple University
Harry Litwack has been Temple's head basketball coach the past seven seasons and during that span the Owls have enjoyed national prominence. Litwack directed the Owls into national tournaments three of the past four seasons and has been associated with every tourney quintet the University has ever boasted. Harry's 1957-58 aggregation, considered by many the finest team Temple has ever fielded had a 27-3 record and rolled up 25 straight victories before losing to Kentucky, the eventual champion, in the semi-finals of the NCAA playoffs at Louisville, Ky. The Owls' 25-game string was the longest in the country that season. Temple took third place in the 1958 NCAA tournament by whipping Kansas State and also finished third in the 1957 National Invitational Tournament and the 1956 National Collegiate Tournament. Litwack was the winning coach in both the 1958 New York Herald Tribune and Kansas City East-West games and during thc,.v course of the 1957-58 campaign steered the Owls to the ECAC Holid&y Festival championship at Madison Square Garden. The Owls also won the 1957-58 championship of the Big Five in Philadelphia, finishing undefeated in local competition. Temple's 25 wins in a row during the 1957-58 season is a Philadelphia district record, bettering the 22 straight victories by Penn's 1907-08 quintet. Harry had the distinction of producing ail-Americans three straight seasons, Hal Lear winning first team honors in 1956 and Guy Rodgers earning I Ik; same accolades in 1957 and 1958. Bill (Pickles) Kennedy, who earned second team ail-American honors last season, figures to give Litwack another first-stringer during the 1959-60 campaign. In his seven seasons^at Temple, Litwack has produced a 122-67 record with crowd-pleasing quintets compiling a 74-16 log during the'Guy Rodgers era. To climax his best seasor\/-11957-58) at Temple, Litwack was named the New York Basketball Writers Association's Coach of the Year for 1958 and the Philadelphia scribes also bestowed the same honors on Harry. The Philadelphia Basketball Writers also selected Litwack their coach of the year in 1956. Harry has helped coach the College Ail-Americans against the Harlem Globetrotters and during the summer of 1957 directed the United States quintet to the championship1* of the Maccabiah Games in Israel.
Litwack has long been associated with Temple Basketball. Harry was an outstanding player on the teams of 1926-27; i 1927-28 and 1928-29. He is one of only three men in Temple's basketball history to be named captain for two seasons, leading the Owl courtmen in his junior and senior years.
A graduate of South Philadelphia High School and the Teachers College of Temple University, Harry has a wealth of court experience, having played and coached in both the college and professional ranks. Litwack played for and coached the Philadelphia SPHAS, one of the Country's top professional teams.
From 1931 to 1951 he was coach of Temple's freshmen quintet and kept his 20-year record clean by coming through with a winning season every year. For three years, 1949-1951, Harry was on the staff of the Philadelphia WARRIORS, as an assistant to owner-coach Eddie Gottlieb. In addition to playing and coaching, Litwack was widely known for his excellent officiating of college and high school games. He turned in his official's whistle 11 years ago. Litwack is the 14th head coach in the Owl's history and he was associated with three of the former coaches either in a playing or coaching capacity. He played for and assisted the late Jimmy Usilton and served as an assistant under Ernie Messikomer and Josh Cody. Harry is a physical education instructor in the Philadelphia Public School System, currently teaching at Fels Junior High School, and is part owner of a summer camp in the Pocono Mountains. Litwack's biggest boosters are his charming wife Estelle and his daughters Lois and Shelly.

 HARRY LANCASTER
HARRY C. LANCASTER
Assistant Coach
When Harry Lancaster finds a spare moment to reflect on his days as an all-around star athlete at Georgetown (Ky.) College back in the early thirties, he can recall with a degree of dismay how close he came to never pursuing the "round ball" sport that in the days since has earned him a respected position in the basketball world.
An All-Conference halfback for three straight years and captain during his last two seasons, Lancaster's football career almost overshadowed his play on the basketball court. In the cage sport, he was equally successful with three All-Conference nominations and two team captaincies to his creditbut considered himself a better football player than eager. Experience, however, proved him a good student and teacher of the sport of basketball as he began his coaching career.
Lancaster bosses a promising group of yearling cagers and holds down the position of assistant varsity basketball coach and general right hand man to Adolph Rupp. He was made a full-time assistant by Coach Rupp in 1948.

PROSPECTS FOR TEMPLE'S 1959-60 SEASON
By AL SHRIEK Director of Sports Information
Harry Litwack admits his Temple basketball team should be better this winter. This is unusual for Harry since the chief of the Owls never predicts good things even during the Guy Rodgers Era when Temple was a national powerhouse. But after the 6-19 disaster of last season, Litwack feels improvement is a certainty.
"Let's wait and see," has always been Harry's cry since he became Temple's head hoop coach at the start of the 1952-53 season. Now Harry is waiting to see just how good the sophomore crop will be during the current campaign. For the "rookies" will play an important part in any success Temple enjoys this winter.
The combination of all-American Bill (Pickles) Kennedy and the promising sophs figure to wipe out some of the sting of the first losing season in Litwack's brilliant coaching career. In Kennedy, Harry feels he may have a youngster who is the best back court player in collegiate ranks today.
Loss of all-American Guy Rodgers and other standouts like Jay Norman, Mel Brodsky, Tink Van Patton and Dan Fleming from the crack 1957-58 squad figured to cripple the Owls and that was just the case. The opposition double-teamed Kennedy and succeeded in stopping Temple's attack although Pickles was still outstanding.
Whenever Kennedy received assistance, Temple proved dangerous last winter and powerful teams like

St. John's, winner of the Holiday Festival and NIT, and mighty Kentucky had to battle the distance before defeating the Owls. Oddly enough, most of Temple's performances last winter came in losing efforts against highly-regarded opponents.
Schedule-wise, Temple again faces stiff opposition in the Middle Atlantic Conference University Division where the Owls play 11 of their 25 games.
Litwack and his cagers also are encountering plenty of tough opposition in Temple's non-league schedule. Highlight of the Owl's road card is tonight's game with the University of Kentucky. The Wildcats nipped the Owls here at Freedom Hall in the 1958 NCAA playoffs.
Temple's fine Palestra schedule includes contests with Princeton, Rutgers, Lafayette, Villanova, Penn, St. Joseph's, Muhlenberg, Connecticut, LaSalle, St. John's annd Penn State. The Owls will also play two games at South Hall, their campus court, where Temple will host Susquehanna University and Lehigh.
Susquehanna and New York University are the newcomers to Temple's 1959-60 schedule but have been played before. The Owls will battle NYU at Madison Square Garden where they have been an annual visitor. The Violets completed in the National Invitation Tournament last winter and will be playing Temple for the 19th time.
